Other monotypes that might give you problems:
1. Bug - actually, maybe not. Honchkrow and Houndoom are good.
2. Fighting - you're kind of screwed when you lose Honchkrow.
3. Fairy - Not common, but it can happen. Suggest in giving one more pokemon with a poison or steel attack.

Plus, you kind of need more special attackers. Here's some more suggestions:
1. Hydreigon - Though, it'll make the fairy matchup even worse.
2. Mandibuzz - Either support or nasty plot variants.

Very good team for dark type mono, I only have a few suggestions.

Tyranitar:
For t-tar, I say stone edge, other may say rockslide, but I am a fan of power over accuracy.

Weavile
If your weavile is adamant go for ice shard/ taunt, but if it is jolly go for ice shard/ swords dance.

Houndoom:
Only praise for this one, not many people will expect this mega.

Sableye:
I say confuse ray if you have foul play, because will o' wisp will lower foul play's power if they are burned. Plus, making them hit themselves in the face is fun.

Bisharp:
I love this bisharp set, especially because the focus sash guarantees a free swords dance.

Honchcrow:
This could cause some good surprises to your opponent. Moxie goes well with superpower, keeping your attack up, and not giving them a chance to recover on a switch-out.

Overall, I really like this team's chemistry, and think that you will win a lot with it.
Hope I helped!

Well, SwagPlay is not banned yet, why not go the whole 9 yards with Swagger instead of Confuse Ray...
BTW, Burn (on the foe) doesn't affect the power of Foul Play. (Sources: Nugget Bridge, Marriland.)
You are totally right Mala. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks!
